One problem is the mix of SVN (for the site itself) and git (for the source code). AFAIK the migration is supposedly a progress and will perhaps be better supported by tools provided by INFRA. A likely consequence could be a better separation of contents and layout, and a website with a nicer look. Just compare https://logging.apache.org/ with https://commons.apache.org/ There is no advantage that those sites look so different. It's not a priority task, for sure, but if someone can pull it off, it would be great IMHO. > Especially considering > Subversion is still needed to manage releases. That's not a reason for not migrating; otherwise, no project would have done so.
